The school, in my opinion, is the best place to send your children. The faculty are... amazing. Wanda Janeway, the Principal, puts her heart and soul to keep Rossville Middle School a place of excellence, and the teachers do as well. I hope if anyone else sends their children here that their experience will be just as pleasant as mine. Read less

My child has progressed extremely well at Rossville Middle School.

Rossville Middle just made AYP for the second year in a row. The school is improving greatly, just in time for the move to a new building. Many teachers who have left went to high schools and/or higher paying districts. Conclusion, they are moving for the money and/or because they don't want to teach
... Read more middle school. Great teachers who love the students have taken their place. Are there still some who hate kids? Yes, there are some at every school, some of Rossville's will retire very soon. Discipline is outstanding this year (2007). Teachers have raved about the improved behavior. Parent Involvement is hit or miss. Anyone complaining about the emphasis on test scores...thank George Bush. The building is old, but the teachers are great. Rossville Middle's building will not be old this time next year. Read less

This school is one of the worse school my children have attended. The have failed to meet the No Child Left Behind guidelines, at least two years in a roll. The teachers for the most part are very negative. I would love to see the stats of the children that attend this school , that add to the problem
... Read more of drop-outs in Northwest Georgia. The famous words of the administrative staff are, ' I will investigate it', this means ok I have listen to you and I will forget the problem. The cafeteria food is awful. Its pretty sad that they wont build a new school at this location because its deemed , environmental unsafe. What does that mean for the kids that go there now? Displine is issued on the basis of who you know, not what is deserved. Read less

This school has a lack of leadership and horrible administration, and should value the saving grace that it has teachers that care (for now). This school desperately needs new leadership that will appreciate the efforts which the teachers contribute. Education does not consist of test scores alone. Free
